Convert nanosecond to picosecond
Please provide values below to convert nanosecond [ns] to picosecond [ps], or Convert picosecond to nanosecond.
1 ns = 1000 ps. To convert nanosecond to picosecond, multiply the value by 1000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 ps = 0.001 ns). Both units measure time and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 ns = 1000 ps
- 1 ps = 0.001 ns
- 10 ns = 10000 ps
- 100 ns = 100000 ps
How to Convert Nanosecond to Picosecond
1 ns = 1000 ps
Example: convert 15 ns to ps:
15 ns = 15 × 1000 ps = 15000 ps

Nanosecond
A nanosecond is a unit of time equal to one billionth of a second (10^-9 seconds).
History/Origin
The concept of the nanosecond emerged with the development of high-precision time measurement in the 20th century, particularly with advancements in electronics and computing technology that required measuring extremely short time intervals.
Current Use
Nanoseconds are used in various fields such as computing (e.g., measuring processor speeds and memory access times), telecommunications, and scientific research to quantify very short durations.
Picosecond
A picosecond is a unit of time equal to one trillionth of a second (10^-12 seconds).
History/Origin
The picosecond was introduced as a standard unit of time measurement in the 20th century, primarily used in physics and electronics to measure extremely short time intervals, especially in laser science and high-speed electronics.
Current Use
Picoseconds are used in fields such as physics, telecommunications, and electronics to measure ultrafast processes, signal delays, and the duration of events at the atomic and subatomic levels.
